Was traveling back from declo idaho from my fathers passing away ,headed for boise idaho at 11:00 pm, just passed jerome about two miles west the headlights and all other lights, interior and exterior went out at 75 mph on the freeway , in the vehicle I had my son 8 years old , my wife 40 years old , my mother 65 years old, and myself 44 years old we could have been killed by a merging or passing semi, but I quickly switched the headlight switch from auto to headlamp and the lights came back on, so I switched back to auto and we traveled 8 miles and the lights went out again , so ,I repeated the same thing again by turning the switch back to headlamp, and the lights once again came back on. Then, I switched it back to auto again and they stayed on for about 8 to 10 miles and went out again . I switched them back and left the switch on headlamp and continued our trip home from declo no more problems with switch on headlamp mod. Also, I had fog lamps on this entire time which entailed pulling the headlight switch out to engage the fog lamps. Then a while later like a week I went to work at the airport at night graves . I got to work shut down the vehicle and put the keys on the floor as per pad to open vehicle, locked vehicle by pad and entered the building, about an hour or so later received a call from horizon employee that there was a vehicle with its lights on in the parking lot which was my vehicle. I returned to the vehicle and turned the headlamp switch from auto to headlamp and the lights went out when I locked the vehicle this time , and the same scenario happened a couple more times . I returned with the vehicle to lithia Ford of boise, and they held the vehicle over night and could not duplicate the problem , they have done this a couple times ,and damaged the dashboard.

All Ford light trucks, suvs, and cars manufactured since 1987 all the way until 2006 need to have the headlights adjusted. I have been driving for 24 years and I have seen these vehicles switch from high to low beams and the lights are still too bright. This is dangerous because it blinds incoming traffic drivers. This is also true when Ford products are driven behind other vehicle. This is far too dangerous and the problem needs to be investigated.

Design flaw of headligts on 2006 Ford pickup trucks and 2006 Dodge pickup trucks--too much stray light blinding on-coming traffic.

Both headlights of the consumer's 1998 Ford f150 have discolored to the point that it's no longer safe to operate the vehicle at night. The consumer also experienced this same problem with his 1996 Ford crown victoria. The dealer had no suggestions as to how to correct the problem.

Take a look a my vehicle history, I baby my truck - never used off-road. I have replaced several items that I feel should have been fixed by Ford. I had to buy a warranty that cover most of the stuff. Some parts with defects that were replaced. Most replaced at 40,000-80,000 miles 1. ) transmission completely replaced 2. ) rearend replaced 3. ) I'm on my third set of all 4 ball joints 4. ) tie rods, tie rod ends (replaced twice now) 5. ) coil 6. ) headlight housing (3-4 times) 7. ) brakes, numerous things worked on and replaced dealership was never able to stop the thumping noise that is still there, said it was normal (not) 8. ) idler arm (replaced twice) 9. ) sunroof switch replaced twice, reported loud bang when opening. A&b kia said it was normal - no, now it is completely broke and will barely open and have to force closed. 10. ) sideview mirrors vibrated 11. ) abs sensor replaced 12. ) keyless entry replaced 13. ) steering bearings replaced 14. ) back bumper is rusting these are just some of the things I can remember right off hand. I've got all receipts. I take care of this truck - wash and wax once a week by hand (unless really bad weather) then I just take it to the car wash automatic or actual people washing. Keep inside just as nice. If you want to check out a vehicle for safety/recall information you should start with mine.

Headlights worked poorly confuse the oncoming drivers, and scares the hell out of the driver of the mentioned vehicle. Outside mirrors------outside mirrors ( right and left side) fail to operate with the adjusting switch located in the interior driver side arm rest. Mirrors fail to adjust. This is a problem when different drivers use this vehicle.

While driving in the dark, darshboard lights and headlights will turn off at the same time without a prior warning for about thirty seconds. Dealer was contacted, but they could not find what was causing the problem.

The fog lights are all cracking, due to design. They are full of water and may short out my head lights . Dt.

Mutifunction switch cut headlamps off while driving at night at appoximately 45 mph. No prior warning, no flickering just instantanious darkness. Side marker lights and taillight s continued to operate. Was in a well light area or this could have been serious if at higher speed on an unlighted road. The squeal on the pitman arm is a nuisance. Note when I took to dealership to be repaired, dealer service department denied any widespread problem e with either component - what a joke I now find both items appear on your website. There should be some accountability or penalty for the dealer for not being honest about the problems with these components.

I have experienced the 3 defects listed. . . . . First, the powertrain, when four-wheel drive is engaged at a stop and an engagement time of at least 30sec. To 1min. Is given, when I release my brake to proceed the powertrain makes a loud thump, this happens about 75% of the time. . . . Second the washer sprayers on the hood do not spray the windsheild. One sprays way off and the other sprays nothing. And third the high beam low beam switch is defected. When engaged in high beam and driving a short accures and the lights will flicker from high to low and completely off with no head lights at all. . . . . . If you have any questions about any of these defects please contact shane e. Mass at my home number ((712)-322-5233) . . . . Thank you.

Left side low beam lights are too low and not aligned properly. Yh.
